(PRWEB) November 20, 2009 -- IG Markets, the global Contract for Difference (CFD) provider, has today launched its Smart Order Routing facility. In addition to providing prices from the traditional exchanges, IG Markets clients will now automatically be offered access to the liquidity on the Multilateral Trading Facilities (MTFs) such as Chi-X Europe and Turquoise.
Smart Order Routing will search out the best available price for clients across multiple liquidity venues. Covering in excess of 1000 European-listed equities, the technology will also offer clients the alternative of free price and depth of market feeds on the respective stocks where previously they may have had to pay to receive live exchange data.
Tim Howkins, Chief Executive of IG Group, added:
“This is the latest innovation by IG Markets to ensure we continue to build on our position as the worldwide market leader for CFDs. As a result of this move, clients will now be able to see greater liquidity and get even better prices when they trade with IG Markets.”
IG Markets clients can trade CFDs online, over the telephone or via mobile devices such as the iPhone. In addition to having been confirmed as the UK’s most popular CFD provider in a recent study by Investment Tr, IG Markets also provides comprehensive training and education through its TradeSense programme. This is specifically designed to help those new to trading CFDs to understand the financial markets and risk-management tools they have at their disposal.
